How should youth grow? The "Firelight" series broadcast by the Movie Channel tells the story of the growth of revolutionary youth who bloomed and reborn in the fire in the revolutionary years.
The movies "Firelight Bloom" and "Firelight Rebirth" are adapted from the novella "The Past Comes And Going" by writer Hai Fei. In 1949, shanghai was liberated, and the heroine of the story, Zhu Ruyu, recalled her childhood partner and recalled her youth, and one scene after another appeared in front of her eyes...
Zhu Ruyu, a miss of the Zhu family in Fengqiao Town, Jiyang County, Jiangnan Province, has a clear sense of resistance since childhood, and Tang Xiaocang, who grew up together, likes Lu Dalong and Lu Dalong loves Zhu Ruyu; Zhu Ruyu was arranged by her father to marry Hu Jingua, the grand duke of the Hu family in Lingbei, Zhu Ruyu, who longed for freedom, decided to run away from home with her favorite Chinese language teacher Liu An and went to Shanghai, when Zhu Ruyu came to the ferry port at night but did not see Liu An, he could only start a new life alone.
Coming to Shanghai, Zhu Ruyu met and knew Su Buyun, a radical and progressive young man, and traveled with him for the revolution. But Su Buyun flinched in fear in a battle with the Japanese army, leaving Zhu Ruyu, who was pregnant with Liujia, to a new life.
The film revolves around the emotional experiences of the heroine Zhu Ruyu and her childhood partner Lu Dalong, the Chinese language teacher Liu An, the radical young Su Buyun, and the revolutionary Hu Jingua, four men, blooming and reborn in the firelight.
The characters highlight that revolution requires bravery and needs to give everything
Zhu Ruyu in the film dares to love and dare to hate, strong and indomitable, tenacious and brave, firm and fearless, not afraid of sacrifice, with the classic image of women in the revolutionary era.
Lu Dalong was open-minded and righteous by nature, and had always been secretly in love with Zhu Ruyu, and Zhu Ruyu always did not buy it, he and Tang Xiaocang wanted to go to Shanghai to find Zhu Ruyu, and joined the army after encountering the New Fourth Army team on the way. After he joined the revolution, he met Zhu Ruyu and faced Zhu Ruyu who already had a son and witnessed his son's steamed bun being blown up, but he still did not change his love for Zhu Ruyu. Lu Dalong presents the image of a revolutionary hero who is infinitely loyal to the revolution and infinitely loyal to his comrades-in-arms and is extremely brave in battle.
In stark contrast to Lu Dalong, Liu An, the teacher, only has revolutionary ideas ideologically and dares to embark on the revolution without practical actions. For the shaping of the role of Su Buyun in the film, the director of the film, Wang Lusha, introduced in the director's elaboration: The image of Su Buyun in the original work is similar to that of Liu An, and he is a hypocrite with a straight face, and the film has made changes that are quite different from the novel. Zhu Ruyu must have grown after experiencing emotional setbacks with Liu An, if Su Buyun is just a re-engraving of Liu An, the audience may only feel Zhu Ruyu's stupidity and the screenwriter's deliberate choreography. Therefore, we have revised the setting of Su Buyun, setting Su Buyun at the beginning of the story as an intellectual youth with ideals and ambitions, and in that special historical era, he hoped to save the people from water and fire and hope to revitalize China. However, in the face of blood and cold bayonets, he was frightened, and in the face of death, he gave up his ideals and chose to live secretly. He was a weak man, a man who lacked courage. Through the contrast between his cowardice and Lu Dalong's bravery, he strengthens the requirements for qualified revolutionaries in the original work, that is, in addition to having ideals, he must have the determination to give everything for the revolution at any time.
Like Zhu Ruyu, Hu Jingua was arranged by his family, and like Zhu Ruyu, he chose to escape marriage and choose to join the revolution. At the end of the film, he meets Zhu Ruyu in the revolutionary ranks and recites the poem "Firelight", which makes the audience feel that Zhu Ruyu and Hu Jingua are like-minded in their thinking, and they are a very good match, which also makes the film have an explanation for Zhu Ruyu's future life.
"This is a unique, touching, positive, youthful passion and struggle of the historical theme of the Red Revolution." Military adviser Xiao Yusheng praised after watching the film.
The heroine is interpreted to be beautiful and full of sincere feelings
In the film, Zhu Ruyu from the age of 18 to 33 in different periods presents different shapes and different emotional states, which is a test in acting skills. Zhu Ruyu, the heroine of the film "Firelight Bloom" and "Firelight Rebirth", is a new generation actor Zhong Wenguan from the Shanghai Theater Academy and a new generation of actors after 00, who has completed the interpretation of Zhu Ruyu well. Many viewers watched the film and said: This is an idol version of the revolutionary historical theme movie. She interpreted Zhu Ruyu in her youth as pure and beautiful, with romantic overtones, and she interpreted Zhu Ruyu, who joined the revolutionary period, to be mature and pure, with revolutionary idealism; She portrayed Zhu Ruyu after losing her son as strong, brave, and unyielding, with revolutionary heroism.
Zhong Wenguan interpreted Zhu Ruyu in different periods with accurate character looks, delicate and sincere feelings, rich and full of emotions, and the narration narration is affectionate and vivid, and it is very valuable that at a young age, she can assume the heavy responsibility of the big heroine leading the starring role, which is very valuable, and the movies "Firelight Bloom" and "Firelight Rebirth" are undoubtedly Zhong Wenguan's cocoon-breaking into butterfly works. The film art consultant Wang Xinmin, a famous director of the old generation, commented on Zhong Wenguan.
Zhong Wenguan said in an interview with the movie channel "China Film Report" that through the interpretation of this film, he felt the lofty faith of the revolutionary ancestors, admired the firmness of the ideals of that era, and the responsibility for youth, which is very worthy of learning from the younger generation.
